Season both sides of the chicken with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil + 1 tbsp butter over medium heat.

-

-
Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, just until fragrant.
π· Step 5: Deglaze with Wine

πΏ Step 7: Season the Sauce

πͺ Step 8: Slice the Chicken

While sauce simmers, slice your cooked chicken into strips or bite-sized chunks.
π Step 9: Combine Everything
-
Add cooked pasta to the sauce and toss to coat evenly.
-
Add sliced chicken on top or mix it in.
-
If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water.
π½️ Step 10: Serve
-
Plate the pasta and top with more Parmesan and fresh parsley.
-
Serve immediately while hot.
Step 11: Toss pasta and chicken in the sauce
Gently mix the pasta and chicken in the skillet until everything is coated evenly with the creamy sauce.
Step 12: Adjust sauce consistency
If the sauce is too thick, add a bit of the reserved pasta water (1–2 tbsp at a time) until it reaches your desired creaminess.
Step 13: Let everything heat through
Allow the combined pasta, chicken, and sauce to simmer together on low heat for 2–3 minutes. This helps the flavors come together.
Step 14: Taste and adjust seasoning
Taste the sauce — add more salt, pepper, or Italian seasoning if needed. If you want more tang or brightness, a squeeze of lemon works well.
Step 15: Plate the pasta
Use tongs to twist a portion of pasta onto each plate or bowl, making sure to get some chicken and sauce with each serving.
Step 16: Add extra Parmesan on top
Sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan over each plate. Be generous — it's part of the magic.
Step 17: Garnish with fresh herbs
Top with chopped fresh parsley (or basil) for color and freshness.
Step 18: Optional – Drizzle with olive oil
For an extra silky finish, drizzle a touch of good-quality olive oil on top before serving.
Step 19: Serve immediately
This dish is best served hot, right after assembling. The sauce will be at its creamiest and most flavorful.
Step 20: Enjoy with sides
Serve with warm garlic bread, a side salad, or a glass of white wine that matches the one used in cooking (e.g., Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc).

Step 21: Pair with the perfect wine
Serve the pasta with a glass of the same dry white wine used in the sauce. A Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc balances the creaminess beautifully.
Step 22: Add a side salad
For a complete Italian-style meal, serve with a fresh salad – think arugula, cherry tomatoes, shaved Parmesan, and a balsamic vinaigrette.
Step 23: Enjoy with garlic bread
To soak up any leftover sauce, toast slices of crusty bread brushed with garlic butter and herbs.
Step 24: Make it spicy (optional)
If you like heat, sprinkle extra red pepper flakes or add a dash of hot sauce when serving.
Step 25: Store leftovers properly
Cool completely, then store pasta in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3–4 days.
Step 26: Reheat gently
Reheat in a skillet over low heat with a splash of milk or cream to loosen the sauce. Microwave works too (cover and stir halfway).
Step 27: Avoid freezing (if possible)
Creamy sauces with cheese can separate when frozen, so freezing is not ideal. Fresh is best.
Step 28: Make it ahead (tips)
You can cook the chicken and prepare the sauce a day ahead, then reheat and combine with fresh pasta before serving.
Step 29: Turn it into a bake (variation)
Transfer the finished pasta into a baking dish, top with mozzarella and extra Parmesan, and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15–20 minutes for a cheesy pasta bake.
Step 30: Reflect & tweak for next time
After eating, think: Want more garlic? More wine flavor? Use this experience to tweak the dish next time. Cooking is all about personalizing.
